Important Notes
===============

The software delivered in the OPNFV Yardstick_ Project, comprising the
*Yardstick framework*, and the *Yardstick test cases* is a realization of
the methodology in ETSI-ISG NFV-TST001_.

The *Yardstick* framework is *installer*, *infrastructure* and *application*

OPNFV Fraser Release
====================

This Fraser release provides *Yardstick* as a framework for NFVI testing
and OPNFV feature testing, automated in the OPNFV CI pipeline, including:

* Documentation generated with Sphinx

  * User Guide
  * Developer Guide
  * Release notes (this document)
  * Results

* Automated Yardstick test suite (daily, weekly)

  * Jenkins Jobs for OPNFV community labs

* Automated Yardstick test results visualization

  * Dashboard_ using Grafana (user:opnfv/password: opnfv), influxDB is used as
    backend

* Yardstick framework source code

* Yardstick test cases yaml files

* Yardstick plug-in configuration yaml files, plug-in install/remove scripts

For Fraser release, the *Yardstick framework* is used for the following
testing:

* OPNFV platform testing - generic test cases to measure the categories:

  * Compute
  * Network
  * Storage

* OPNFV platform network service benchmarking (NSB)

  * NSB

* Test cases for the following OPNFV Projects:

  * Container4NFV
  * High Availability
  * IPv6
  * KVM
  * Parser
  * StorPerf
  * VSperf

The *Yardstick framework* is developed in the OPNFV community, by the
Yardstick_ team.
